  It will start decomposing before it's opened. Like all the rest of China's modern architecture.

  probably the most boring place ever, unless you are ready to spend a lot.
  I hope the old people living on picking empty plastic bottles in trash bins will be allowed to pick bottles in the trashbins inside. Giving the price this center will probably cost it would be unfair they don't get their share...

  disease of Chinese architecture. A blind pursuit of the grand as a status symbol for the powerful, while the people of the city are ignored. another irresponsible architecture. Culture is not built, it is nurtured.

  Have you seen the structure? I go by it every day on my way to work. They're doing such a shitty job building it. The roof isn't even all smooth lines, it's completely messed up. It won't last more than 5 years... Yet again, China sacrifices quality for speed. Anyone surprised?

  Do I ever wish I was teaching Urban Geography again: this is fantastic!
  This fits perfectly in the new economic model which the world must and thus will eventually lead into because of necessity ( which still is the mother of inventions!).
  Just to be living in a country that is willing and able to experiment/build/ develop/ finance/ be creative about life.
  The coming economic model will be: sustainable-steady-state-eco-centred economic system. Europe is proving that the present systems already do not work. Unfortunately, Europe, which lead the way into the urbanization/industrial model just does not seem to be able to break out of its stupid concrete constipated mode. It is so stupid of everyone seeking to try to catch on to the coat tailing of Asian countries that are just breaking into the mistakes of the west. China and Korea are not and will not repeat the mistakes of blind selfishness and stupidity of greed, consumerism and stressful living that is self destructive.

  Looks more like a mall than a building.

  Does anyone know where can I find some important details about the building, for example what source of energy is going to be used to power all of that, including it's artificial sun.

  @basia
  
  i assume it uses the electricity from the grid which is mainly coming from burning coal.
  
  I haven't seen an artificial sun there, but i remember it being extremely hot and moist inside.
